Fall planting is definitely knew to us, as this is our first year vegetables gardening. We just planted some peas, radishes, beets, and salad greens, with plans to plant some garlic later in the fall. Homegrown garlic, oh I can't wait!thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-46295438185533037862010-08-07T10:14:17.432-04:002010-08-07T10:14:17.432-04:00Gorgeous veggies, and the pizza is a delicious ide...Gorgeous veggies, and the pizza is a delicious idea!

We love homemade pizza as well, and one of our staples in the summer is barbequed pizza (which is surprisingly easy to make and quite delicious). Then again, anything with homegrown veggies is instantly better :)Mandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070429886677673712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-90053809200125361342010-08-04T21:59:29.315-04:002010-08-04T21:59:29.315-04:00Cheryl - I will post the crust recipe with my next...Cheryl - I will post the crust recipe with my next pizza, it really was good! <br />* * * * *<br />TIG - you are too kind!<br /><br />* * * * *<br />Jeana - thank you!

I do definitely find the seed packets with fewer days to maturity to be more appealing - if I can't have instant gratification, then I want as short of a wait as possible!<br /><br />* * * * *<br />GrafixMuse - multiple mini pizzas is a great idea! Are your SFG beds 6 inches or 12 inches tall? Even though I have a short variety, I wonder if the carrots don't like my 6 inch beds.

We enjoy a lot of different garden toppings on pizza as well. Sometimes we can’t decide on topping combinations, so we divide up the dough and make mini-pizzas with all different toppings.<br /><br />I don’t have much luck growing carrots. I seed them in the spring and they always take longer than the seed package says. Some times I get impatient and pull them too early. This year, I have seeded two square foot gardens with different short varieties. I just harvested my first carrots this week and am quite pleased. I guess patients is the key.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-697915827346267172010-08-02T20:34:25.451-04:002010-08-02T20:34:25.451-04:00kitsapFG - thank you for the useful information ab...kitsapFG - thank you for the useful information about regular and bread machine recipes!

I think that the "days to harvest" is valid only if every single day is the optimal growing condition for whatever veggie you're growing. I hardly ever have anything come in near the timeframe listed on seed packets.foodgardenkitchenhttp://foodgardenkitchen.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-32326409852745576672010-08-02T15:41:21.146-04:002010-08-02T15:41:21.146-04:00That pizza looks great, and so does your harvest!That pizza looks great, and so does your harvest!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-88179383694015663212010-08-02T15:19:49.905-04:002010-08-02T15:19:49.905-04:00I think making pizza is on every gardener's to...I think making pizza is on every gardener's to do list.

I think you're going to have a hard time eating pizza from the pizzeria now. :)<br /><br />I love to bake bread and have found that most bread doughs can be easily kneaded by hand and have even learned a technique to knead wet sticky doughs by hand. One dough that really should be machine kneaded is brioche (and other sweet doughs like it also). It is so loaded with butter, eggs, and sugar and has to be kneaded for such a looong time that a machine is really the only reasonable way to do it.michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-45743529265762811372010-08-02T14:01:22.813-04:002010-08-02T14:01:22.813-04:00I love fresh pizza.
